Random update writing.

I’ve been remiss in posting and I know that. I’m taking a bit of a break from the godless stuff for a while. This dumbfuckery with/from Freethought Blogs and Thundrerf00t have put me off. I’m surprised how much it’s affected me considering how I’ve essentially got nothing to do with the ‘community’.

I am ambivalent about Thunderf00t releasing info from a private mailing list that he was legitimately added. I’m disappointed by what was released. Maybe disgusted. I don’t know.

That Matt Dillahunty is chiming in as well disappoints me. I’m fucking over this shit. I’ve un-followed a bunch of people who’s opinions I used to enjoy. I’ve stopped reading blogs I previously read… religiously. I’m not watching the video’s I used to.

I’m a bit disillusioned about the atheist/skeptical community at the moment. Perhaps it was overdue; I probably had unreasonably high expectations of people to begin with.

As it turns out, everybody is the same. Most people are assholes, even godless liberals. The only thing this ongoing drama has taught me is this: be more sceptical of everybody – they are probably worse people than you think.

I’ll post again when some religionut pisses me off enough or if some awesome science inspires me.

Thought for the day…

Does Jesus prefer tea or coffee?

Is asking the creator of the universe his preference for a beverage ‘testing’ him? If it is, why is that? If it isn’t, would a random sample of 10,000 Christians return the same answer?

Thought for the day: If the Christian God is a jealous God…

… and let’s face it, it says it is right there in the Bible (Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 6:15) and it is also unchanging (Psalm 102:27, Hebrews 1:12, Hebrews 13:8) then… what was it jealous of before it created the universe? Jealous in anticipation of things to come!? Seems to me there’s a couple of psychological issues that need to be worked out there. Putting a fundamentally insecure super-being with unlimited power in charge of any universe seems like a really bad idea to me.

Admit it. Your religion makes no sense.

Happy 40k views to me! Happy 40k views to me! Happy 40k views to meeeeee eeeeeee. Happy 40k views to me!

Yay and awesome and things!

This 10k was quicker than the last 10k but I couldn’t be asked to work out how much. Still some way to go though and I’ve been very lax in blogging lately… it might have something to do with playing WoW again. It might not. But it probably does. Yea.

My thought for the day

Be totally awesome or don’t be at all.

Happy Friday!

Here is a picture of an awesome llama.

Because it’s Friday. And you deserve an awesome llama picture.

Awesome hipster llamas are awesome.

Everybody, be awesome.

Always! Be awesome.

(That’s 5 awesome’s in a 26 word post. 6 counting this one. It’s called a high awesome density post. That’s 7.)

Yes, still pitiful in the greater scheme but it shows that things are ticking along and that’s cool. This last 10k views took 3.9 months which is slightly quicker than the previous 10k.

It’s progress in the right direction and that’s awesome.

Be awesome.

Thanks for linking to me! Much appreciated.

Goodbye Christopher Hitchens. The world is a worse place without you.

Christopher Hitchens - A great man.

Goodbye Hitch.

Today the world is a poorer place than it was yesterday. Today the world has lost one of its great citizens. Today the world is sadder. The world was a better place with you in it Christopher Hitchens.

Humanity has lost a brilliant mind and it makes me incredibly sad to know that we will never again experience the result of your thoughts Hitch. It makes me sad that we will never hear a new argument from you, read a new book, watch a new video. There will never be another new epic Hitch Slap.

You left the world a better place than you found it and that is all any of us can ever strive for. You have changed countless lives. You have changed my life, for the better. You said the things that needed to be said and you did the things that needed to be done.

I wish you weren’t dead but you are and perhaps my greatest regret is that I never had the opportunity to meet you in person.

Goodbye Hitch and thank you.

Yea, I know, still pitiful in the greater scheme of things. The last 10k only took 4.5 months so possibly the 100k mark is not completely out of my grasp.

I haven’t had much, any time what so ever actually, to post in the last three months; I’ve been hectically busy on a couple of projects that are now finally coming to an end. From the middle of December (also the second birthday of OneFuriousLlama) I should be getting back into the swing of things so I can start chipping away at the remaining 80,000 views that are currently stopping me from getting up close and personal with my goal.

Anyway, thanks for coming around, I appreciate the traffic (definitely more than a bunch of you appreciate what I have to say) and a special thanks to the Friendly Atheist, Hemant Mehta. He’s an awesome atheist whom I’ve never met who helps and encourages random strangers. Respect.
